(Intro) D   G   D 

D            G               D 
If we were children I would bake you a mud pie 
D          G                D 
Warm and brown beneath the sun 
D      G                   D 
Never learned to climb a tree but I would try 
D         G                D 
Just to show you what I'd done 

     G           D 
Oh what I wouldn't do 
          A             D 
If I had you  babe  I had you 
     G              D 
Oh what I wouldn't do 
          A           D 
If I had you  babe 

D         G                 D 
If I were old  my dearest  you would be older 
But I would crawl upon your lap 
Wrap a blanket 'round our frail little shoulders 
And I'd die happily like that 

     G           D 
Oh what I wouldn't do 
          A             D 
If I had you  babe  I had you 
     G              D 
Oh what I wouldn't do 
          A                D 
If I had you  babe  if I had you 

( G   D   A   D ) 
( G   D   A ) 

    G                           Em                         D               A 
So lace your hands 'round the small of my back and I will kiss you like a king 
        G                            D 
I will be your bride  I'll keep you warm at night 
        A                 D 
I will sing  I will sing 

( G   D   G   D ) 
( G   D   A ) 

D       G               D 
It was now and we were both in the same place 
Didn't know how to say the words 
With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage 
I left before someone got hurt 

     G           D 
Oh what I wouldn't do 
          A             D 
If I had you  babe  I had you 
     G              D 
Oh what I wouldn't do 
          A                D 
If I had you  babe  if I had you
